United fuel dump 14/11/09
Caught some radio traffic at about 1200z today of a United callsign executing a fuel dump over Bristol. Nothing particularly dramatic I assume but does anyone know the circumstances?

Do you know where the United was going (or coming from) and what altitude it was at?

No routing I'm afraid, but it was on 133.6 which I think means most likely heading east above FL270
